I mean, they really want me to buy nicoderm, they want me to think my penis is broken out of the box so I have to buy viagra, restless leg syndrome?

Well John, I think that might be the same thing I'm saying. Could you imagine a doctor prescribing anything that's free instead of SSRIs and actually helps sex life?

Resolved Question: Upgrading a bike - a few ???s
I'm looking to completely upgrade my road bike.
I have a Schwinn Caliente... I originally was going to get a new bike, but I love the frame, so I'm keeping mine.
My father used to be the one to buy new stuff for it, but I'm on my own now... and I have a few questions.
I only have around $800 or so to spend.. maybe up to a grand...
I already know which pedals I want... and I already know which shoes I have to get to work with them...
My main question is about the tires.
I really like the Soma Everwear tires http://www.somafab.com/tires_ev.html... but they only come in one size it seems... what does that mean??
Also, can I get everything upgraded for that budget... I can keep the handlebars and brakes... and possibly seat... but I want the chains and the gears and the cranks all swapped out... and the tires...
My thing with the tires is that I do have an old bike... Can I buy new wheels and tires... so that I can get that size? I don't think I can... but I'm just wondering.
My tires are 27"

My mother-in-law was released from Ben Taub hospital 2/28 with withdrawals-Prozac, Soma, Xanax and Hydrocodone. We bought her a bed and moved her into our spare room. She got into this predicament by claiming to be injured from work (15 yrs ago), hiring an attorney and fighting for disability. She went so far as to let the dr's perform surgery which she regrets because it was useless and now impaired her mobility. She's visited therapists (dr shopping) and convinced that she has anxiety/bipolar disorder but she does not display the symptoms. She's not taking any pills right now and she is doing great except she is so used to running around all of the time she's having difficulty with staying home. Sometimes she complains that she doesn't have legs-she means she can't feel them???? Anyway - she keeps asking for Advil Sinus complaining that she has pollen allergies. I have this allergy and no problems. She claimed the pills caused her lips to become numb. Why is she asking for the pill

Voting Question: is this worth buying this is the exact words from the guy selling it.?
The car is a complete restorable car with the numbers matching engine and transmission. It has a 350 in it at this time with a 350 automatic. The engine is supposed to run but I have not had time to fire it up. It does turn over. The original 327 block and 3 speed trans (that are numbers matching) will be sold with the car. The body is in need of attention. It needs rear quarter panels; doors have rust; fenders have rust; trunk floor is rusted. The car is not an RS or an SS.
The floor on the passenger compartment is in good condition and the frame rails are perfect. Wheel houses are good. Rockers are also good. The dash area has not been cut up. It has black bucket seats with factory console. The car is a complete car that has not been cut up.

Resolved Question: The FED bought What ??
The Fed Bought What?
By John Paul Koning
Posted on 8/13/2007
| Subscribe or Tell Others |
The US Federal Reserve injected $38 billion dollars into the economy via temporary open market operations this Friday. This is the largest number of temporary repurchase agreements (specifically, one business day repos) entered into by the Fed since September 11, 2001. Back in 2001, Fed purchases of treasuries exceeded $30 billion for the four consecutive days after the collapse of the World Trade Towers, total temporary injections into the banking system amounting to a whopping $295 billion.
What is significant about Friday's repurchase agreements is not so much their size, but the securities that the Fed exchanged for money: mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Indeed, the entire $38 billion dollar injection went to MBS purchases, the largest open market purchase of this asset type ever conducted by the Fed, smashing the previous record of $8.6 billion set back in September of 2005. See chart, above.[1]
The type of mortgage-backed securities the Fed bought are created when bundles of individual mortgages originated by commercial banks are guaranteed by quasi-governmental agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), then split apart and sold to investors. Homeowners pay interest on these mortgages, interest payments flowing through to the final holders of MBS.
For those who have gone through the Economics 101 treatment of the Fed, the sudden appearance of MBS in Fed open market operations might seem odd. Professors have always taught that when the Fed expanded the money supply it did so by buying government bonds and bills. Indeed back in September 2001, the Fed provided liquidity by buying what it has always traditionally bought; treasury securities. So why is the Fed buying MBS now, and when did it acquire the authority to do so?
First a note on how open market purchases work. The Fed uses what are called open market operations to control the Federal Funds rate, the rate at which large commercial banks lend cash to each other overnight to fulfill their reserve requirements to the Fed. The Fed sets a target for the federal funds rate and defends it by either withdrawing or injecting money according to the requirements of commercial banks. It injects by buying securities from the banks with freshly created checking deposits, or money. This injection increases the reserves commercial banks hold, allowing these banks to expand credit to businesses and consumers. The Fed withdraws money by selling securities to commercial banks and receiving money as payment, thereby reducing reserves and removing credit from the system.
The Fed conducts both temporary open market operations and permanent ones. Permanent, or outright operations, inject cash and remove securities from the banking system forever. The Fed keeps the securities it has acquired outright in the System Open Market Account, aptly initialed SOMA (in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the drug soma is produced to keep citizens in a steady state of happiness, much like the Fed's SOMA). Temporary operations, the ones entered into this Friday, involve 1–14 day repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements whereby the Fed purchases (or sells) securities in return for cash with an agreement that the commercial bank on the other side of the deal will buy back (or sell back) the securities after a period of days.
Temporary reverse repurchase operations, the short-term withdrawal of money from the banking system, are rare. The Fed has only engaged in 16 reverse repos since late 2000, versus 1247 repurchases. This imbalance means that the Fed is almost always augmenting commercial bank reserves by buying securities, allowing the banks to use their larger reserves to expand credit and borrowing. Thus the rate defended by the Fed is lower than the rate at which the commercial banks would be willing to lend each other if the Fed did not exist.
Back to Friday's MBS purchases. Historically, the Fed's open market operations have been confined to US Treasuries. Clauses 3 to 6 of the Guidelines for the Conduct of System Operations in Federal Agency Issues ensured that Federal Reserve operations could not engage in temporary purchases of securities issued by federal agencies like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.[2]
In an August 1999 Fed meeting officials temporarily suspended clauses 3 to 6, giving themselves the authority to freely purchase Ginnie Mae–, Freddie Mac–, and Fannie Mae–issued MBS on a provisional basis without hindrance on size and timing. The reason given: it needed full reign to inject money into the banking system in preparation for the year 2000 crisis.[3] The period for which the temporary suspension was to extend was from October 1, 1999 through April 7, 2000.
The year 2000 crisis proved a dud. But rather than removing the temporary suspension on buying MBS, the Fed renewed the suspension in 2000 and 2001 before permanently striking off clauses 3 to 6 in 2002. In recent Fed documents, only clauses 1 and 2 are listed. This storyline may sound familiar to Fed watchers. The Fed was founded in response to the crisis of 1907, and had its ability to increase the money supply dramatically increased during another crisis, the Great Depression, where gold convertibility was suspended.
$26
Since the Orwellian rewriting of the Guidelines the Fed has been gradually expanding its MBS purchases, which reached a crescendo this Friday. This (relatively) new power of the Fed is startling given the current liquidity crisis prevailing in the mortgage markets of late. By openly stating its willingness to buy thousands of mortgages and temporarily to expose itself to the financial health (or lack thereof) of the homeowning public, and doing so when the rest of the world is shunning them, the Fed is propping up mortgage markets, and thereby the housing market. This despite the fact that open market operations are not supposed to support individual sectors of the market or channel funds into issues of particular agencies[4]
While the purchases are only temporary — the cash must be returned by Monday — one wonders how long before the Fed grants itself the power to buy MBS permanently. Either way, the Fed's response shows that it is worried about the growing mortgage crises and willing to do anything to buy its way out of it. Unfortunately, by buying up MBS and propping up the market the Fed will only cause more harm than it already has.

Christmas is on Monday and Tuesday this year.
Monday comes from the Old English Mōnandag, meaning "day of the Moon". A small selection of the Moongods is: Artemis, Coyolxauhqui, Diana, Heng-O, Ix Chel, Khons, Mawu, Selene, Sin, Soma, Tsuki-Yomi, Yarikh.
Tuesday comes from "Tyr's day." Tyr was the Nordic god of single combat and heroic glory.
